149 repower
I've been one click away from ordering the 18 hp B&S Vanguard repower kit for my 149 for the last couple weeks. It's designed for cc1250, 1650, etc.
I want to discuss a couple things: To connect a drive shaft to the engine I believe I'll need the flange pn 903-0204,flex coupling pn 722-3000, and coupling arm pn 748-3001. On the connection to the hydro pump, use the present 149 coupling arm and flex coupling. Fabricate a new drive shaft to connect the motor and hydro. Is it going to be that simple? The 149 isn't going to be used for much; probably just a garage queen. The K321 will go into something else. |

If you don't care to hook up any wires, Yes! You currently have an external starter/generator and external voltage regulator. The new engine is self contained, like the engine for a quietline (1250-1650). I don't know what all it would entail, but you'll need some wiring diagrams and will probably end up making a new harness or hack up the old one with a bunch of splices.
Will it bolt in? The quietlines use an engine cradle that sits on rubber mounts in the tractor frame. I don't know if the holes line up, maybe I guess? Bill |

Should be an easy repower. You could use part of a 2000 series drive shaft like I did on this 149 to couple to the engine. Just get the engine lined up nice with the shaft when you mount it. Wiring is no big deal.

Will a v-twin even fit in a 149 frame? I'd think it would be too wide.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
